Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
the famous Sauternes does the talking here, even a bold distillate such as Mortlach doesn’t have much to say in this context. Or rather, it does, but only after honey, ripe apricots, and mirabelle jam have spoken. Quite some fudge too
restaurant Palate
really sweet and jammy. I was afraid the spirit’s natural sulphury side and the barrel’s burnt sulphur would have combined and created a monster. Not so, in fact, but we known that they’ve learnt that ‘sweet’ barriques ought to be rinsed in and out before filling them with whisky. Mortlach’s leather roars beyond the plums and honey
timer Finish
medium, a touch gingery, leathery, peppery… But all that is coated with raisins. Muscadelle, I suppose?
